← TechnologyFor a high-voltage three-phase power distribution system, which outcome occurs when a transformer's Y-connected grounding impedance is too high due to corrosion?
A)Elevated ground fault voltage✓
B)Increased transformer core saturation
C)Reduced harmonic current distortion
D)Improved system transient stability
💡 Explanation
Elevated ground fault voltage results because increased grounding impedance limits fault current, causing an excessive voltage drop across the impedance, detectable by protection relays. Therefore, ground voltage rises rather than core saturation, because saturation requires excessive magnetizing current.
